It's really too early in the industry to talk about disenfranchising
clients. If extensions like this are popular on sites, then some browser
companies will adapt, and others will drop out of the market. The upheaval
in the next year or so is going to be very dramatic. Any attempt to
control it is bound for failure, the best we can do is try and guide the
direction of extensions.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
